RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:They can,t guide down tomorrowI expect them to lower EBITDA. But I also expect lower debt. CIBC is right to expect lower EBITDA guidance. I was talking about total financial impact. The GBP being down by 15% wipes 100M off of GBP debt. That also saves about 8M a year in interest. That's 116M over 2 years. It might not show as EBITDA, but none the less, it's a gain to CXR that affects debt to EBITDA. Right now, Debt to EBITDA is king here and I still expect that to be under 5.5x this year (as guided).

select1011 wrote: Exactly Wallop. Well done. If they try to say tomorrow that Brexit is a wash, they will be the only global company so dum,b to do so. Brexit handed CXR one opportunity to blow out all the bad news and guide lower. That is what they will do if they get that. Otherwise, it be just a load of YMCA from mem in costumes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS9OO0S5w2k
